Total scum in my opinion.79 likes on the video as well.How would the insurance claim fair out now?
It'd be paid no problem, if anything it'll get paid quicker than normal, given the absolute clarity of the theft.

I find it so sad that so many people have to live like this. I couldn't imagine living anywhere where locking my house was necessary.
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't lock your doors.bigandclever said:

Dubai. My front door only gets locked when I goto bed although I've often left it open when I couldn't find the keys and didn't want to wake anyone up. The cars are never locked.This is the HONEST truth, the MIL took her Yaris to the mall and went shopping. When she got home she realised there was something in the back. Someone has bought, and stored a new big flash briefcase (you know the ones with wheels) on the back seat of her car. Given there are millions of Yaris's out here, someone has obviously bought it, and thought they had put it in their car. So, leaving your car unlocked sometimes pays dividends!!!

Thats because if you get caught committing crime out there you get your proverbial balls cut off! Which is what should happen over here however we are far too leanient.

Horrible video, must have been horrendous for the victims. My anger levels have gone right up watching that!

Hope the thieving scumbags are caught and justice is served.
I did find it quite odd how they went to the trouble of closing the door behind them afterwards, it even looked like they lifted the door handle up, as many doors these days need you to do in order to lock it. I'd have thought they'd have been more preoccupied with getting the feck out.
It looked like he was holding the door to stop the householder chasing them whilst his moron mate was failing to get the highly complicated car open.I did find it quite odd how they went to the trouble of closing the door behind them afterwards, it even looked like they lifted the door handle up, as many doors these days need you to do in order to lock it.

I would imagine that in the circumstances described most people would give them what they want, but a considerable percentage (myself included) would then arm themselves when they are on the back foot and go after them...
In this situation what if the owner had grabbed a rolling pin and gone outside bashing the s
t out of the thieves. As they had left his house the "danger" was over and he would be in court for assault I believe?shunaphil said:

This a hundred times.I couldn't imagine it and don't want it.
That video is absolutely horrific.
I live in rural Cumbria and you literally can leave keys in cars that are parked on the drive and not be too worried.
My dad only stopped leaving his vans unlocked 24/7 when parked at home because I told him not to.
Me and my girlfriend had this very discussion yesterday actually about CCTV at people's homes. A guy she works with lives in a 'lively and affordable' area of of a large town and has CCTV covering the driveway of his house because he has a brand new A4 S-Line parked outside.
My response was that if I needed CCTV to feel safer then I don't want to live there.
Personally I think home owners should be fully allowed to cut their heads off with an axe as soon as they entered the property and threatened the family, regardless of what weapons they may or may not be carrying.
As soon as you cross that threshold with intent you should automatically lose all rights.

I've got CCTV that's clear for any scrotes to see and some covert stuff too. Motion sensors all round the house and a couple of dogs. All installed after a few attempted break ins.
There's little I can do about where I live short of moving so far away from the office that I'd never get home.
My view is if someone breaks in and wants the cars or bikes they can have them. I'm insured and I value my life and limbs more than some metal and machinery that can be replaced easily.
The owner shouldn't have posted this on the web IMO. He's making himself a target for next time.

Scrotes don't ***tend*** to complain and it's normally dealt with in a pragmatic manner by the investigators... I think the key is not to go over the top In this situation what if the owner had grabbed a rolling pin and gone outside bashing the s

This has happened to a few people I know (also in Manchester), one guy was violently assaulted for his RS6 Avant keys, and the other was was my close friend had his front door kicked in, 5-6 balaclava clad thugs wielding machetes forced him and his family (including small kids and an elderly woman) into a room while they ransacked the house for jewelry, electronics and car keys.
It's such a terrible fashion in which to commit car theft. It has longer lasting mental effects on the victims than if their car was just hotwired for example.
